Clan KKG: Sage Transformation - The kekkei genkai of Takeda's clan is a passive ability which allows its members to absorb and make use of natural energy without any training in senjutsu. Due to the constant intake of natural energy, they are prone to mental instability, sporadically feeling sudden and uncontrollable urges to kill. The wielder's body can also secrete special fluids which, through means of Senjutsu chakra, allow them to transform parts of their bodies. While varied by appearance and function from user to user and even from use to use, the affected parts of their skin change colour (the hair colour also may change) and if the transformation occurs in the eyes, they change colour as well. Seemingly, the risk of petrification from the imbalance of natural energy, appears to be non-existent.

Being that the natural energy gathered can temporarily be balanced within the wielder of this ability, they can safely transfer their accumulated senjutsu chakra to another individual.

Clan History: The history of the Takeda clan is one shrouded in darkness and mystery, there is no known records of where the clan originated or how exactly they had come into being, the first recorded encounters with members of the Takeda clan happened during the Warring Clans Period. They had appeared suddenly and without any form of warning deep in the heart of land held by the renowned and powerful Hagoromo clan, an extremely bloodthirsty and savage clan that was known and feared throughout the nations for their prowess in the fields of taijutsu and bukijutsu. With no known reasons or any form of warning the Takeda descended upon the unsuspecting Hagoromo, not a single member of the Hagoromo clan had managed to survive insane rampage of the Takeda, and this incident with the Hagoromo proved to be only the beginning of what the Takeda had planned.

After this incident the Takeda began to cut a bloody swath through the whole of the elemental nations, they left naught but death and destruction in their wake, wiping out a great many renowned and powerful clans along with any form of civilization that they came across, they leveled everything from cities to palaces as they continued with their seemingly senseless killing spree. Not a single soul was spared during the rampages of the Takeda, every man, woman and child in the area at the time would be slaughtered without a single shred of mercy or remorse, something that managed to earn the ire of almost every shogun as they feared that they would be next. Many clans were sent to try and wipe out or stop the mysterious force that was butchering their way through the lands, but they only ever ended up being destroyed in the end, that was at least until one of the shoguns got the idea to hire the Uzumaki clan to take care of the problem, hoping that the Uzumaki’s skill in Fuinjutsu would be enough to finally end this mysterious menace that was plaguing the nation's where all else had failed

The battle between the Uzumaki and the Takeda had been extremely long and hard fought, and while many members of the Uzumaki fell to the insane and bloodthirsty Takeda a great number of Takeda also perished, all due to a specific fuinjutsu that the Uzumaki had placed on their bodies before the battle began, the Reverse Four Symbols Seal. In the end the Takeda were forced to flee from the battle with the Uzumaki lest they be completely wiped out, but the damage had already been done, only a handful of Takeda had managed to escape from the battle and none of them held high positions within the clan, the clan head and most of the higher ups having killed their opponents rather quickly before being taken by surprise and sealed away by the seal that came from the bodies of the fallen Uzumaki. As knowledge of the clan once more began to fade from the public eye some of the Takeda left the clan and went out on their own, determined to forge their own paths, but one large group decided to stick together in order to attempt to rebuild their clan stronger than ever before within the shadows, using their innate connection to nature to communicate with animals to find the perfect place to live and rebuild, a place was completely unknown to any humans.

As the Takeda continued to rebuild their numbers in the shadows their resentment for humanity only grew larger and larger, with their inborn connection to nature they were able to feel the countless animals and trees that died as the humans continued to expand their settlements. This had been the entire reason that the clan had launched their assault on the humans, they had began with the worst offenders and slowly but surely made their way through lands, wiping out large settlements along the way so that they would no longer kill nature to expand their cities. But they had learned from their past mistakes, they would not launch another blind attack on the humans, they would grow stronger in the shadows while studying their prey and looking for the perfect opportunities to strike. The clan grew stronger and stronger within the shadows while the newly formed villages around them continued to grow weaker and weaker during the times of ‘peace’, and as more and more time passed the clan began to look for ways to control the insane bloodlust and rage that came with their Kekkei Genkai.

As the various villages around the world continued to expand and war with one another the Takeda continued to grow in strength in the shadows, but unfortunately for them the once noble goals that they held began to be corrupted and warped by the generations of hatred that they held for all humans. Their once noble goal to protect the world from what they saw to be the evil of humanity had long since been forgotten, and in it’s place an extremely dark and intense desire had taken root within the minds of almost all within the clan. The all consuming desire to completely and utterly eradicate all of humanity and rule over the ashes of the old world, and they were willing to do whatever it took in order to fulfill that goal, even if that meant disrespecting their ancestors memories and destroying the very world that they had once sought to protect. Of course they were not foolish enough to believe that they would be able to fulfill this goal on their own, but despite needing allies to actually fulfill their plans they had no plans to stay loyal to those allies once the plan had been brought to fruition, once their plans had been completed they fully planned to betray their allies and wipe them out like the rest of humanity.

Description: Sage Transformation (仙人化, Senninka) is a bodily reaction exhibited by members of Jūgo's Clan, caused by exposition of their special body fluids to natural energy. This results in increased physical capabilities similar to Sage Mode and the ability to perform various shape-shifting feats.

This transformation is a multifaceted ability that permits them to achieve feats ranging from creating various weapon-like appendages to even consuming other human beings, as well as a general increase in their physical capabilities, such as in strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, perception and durability, along with improved power of techniques. Once transformed, common features include eyes with yellow irides and black sclerae, altered skin colour and longer hair (hair colour change may also occur in some users).
